Incidentally, BOTH players near the lake have +1 order slots. So keep hitting Grey Hunter and TDFKAP/upen, guys. They deserve it.

I'm fine with the WitP:AE map, honestly. The one that came with original WitP was monstrous though:

The mod that turns sea hexes into dots makes a big difference. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2324371

Yeah, I actually think the WitP map looks nice enough as it is, though that sea zone mod looks pretty great. The WitE map mod was pretty essential for me too (drat that's a beautiful map/UI change), so if I ever pick up the Tiller games, I'll give his maps for those a whirl as well. There's a decent one for DC:WtP on the Matrix forums, too. It's bundled with one of those awkward "change all the German flags to swastika" mods, but it's optional.

Speaking of D-Day, I fired up the Company of Heroes campaign just for kicks and I surprised myself at how much easier it was since I was using fire and maneuver and bounding overwatch tactics. Set-up a captured MG42 for a base of fire, suppress the enemy, move the Airborne squads closer, destroy with grenades and satchel charges. I get the feeling trying to play this cerebrally during an MP match would get me slaughtered though!

Seems a little ridiculous faulting the devestator at midway, every torpedo plane is slow because they have to be and they were certainly tougher and better armed than the Kate or god forbid the swordfish. Those men died because our carrier doctrine was still kind of poo poo and they got no fighter cover. God forbid we hold a person accountable.

Those men died because our carrier doctrine was still kind of poo poo and they got no fighter cover. I don't think the Devastator is being "blamed" for its own failure so much as it's being pointed out that sending out slow torpedo bombers without escorts is a bad idea (and nuance is difficult to broadcast with 140 characters). I agree that calling the Devastators "lightly armored" is a laugh when compared to the B5N Kate, but then the Kate had a much much longer range. There's also the implication (or perhaps that's just my own impression) that those Devastators should have at least been Avengers by then. All that said, Stanhope Ring sucks gradenko_2000 fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jun 5, 2014 |

It is blaming the plane and it is doing so because it's purpose is not to educate but to serve as propaganda for the military industrial complex. If only they had newer and better planes! Learn from the past people! F-35s no matter what the cost!

I hope Slitherine start to look back at already existing games and not just newer stuff for Steam releases. I don't really want the latest Close Combat that has just been released, I want Last Stand Arnhem. Bring that to Steam, please, Slitherine. Also, Alea Jacta Est got Greenlit a while ago, hopefully they get it together and push that one out soon. I'm hanging out for that.
